(De)constructing the Espai Cràter

90 minutes
€ 85

How was Espai Cràter made? You’ll be discovering through investigation how knowledge and information has been generated, collected and shared in different historical eras. We’ll reveal, through dynamics, which professional profiles make it possible to create and maintain such equipment. You’ll then be taking on the role of historians to analyse and classify different ancient documents from our area that have been left in the Espai Cràter archives. 

Once the importance of documentary sources in creating the history of a region has been discovered, the children will be asked to design the prototype for a digital resource that allows them to collect testimonies and experiences from visitors to Espai Cràter, in spoken, or written, or visual or audiovisual formats.

(R)evolutionise Energy!
Using experiences, models and prototypes, you will find out what energy is and how it is transformed. You’ll also discover how humans have learned to use different sources of energy throughout history.  Afterwards, we’ll be visiting the Espai Cràter geothermal installation and we’ll do experiments to find out how it works. Students will then be provided with a variety of materials to design and make prototypes of green, energy-powered facilities.  Finally, we will be looking into the importance of using renewable energy sources for environmental conservation and the fight against climate change.
Volcanoes and Life
Are you ready to go back in time? In this activity we will be revealing the key role of volcanoes in the origins of life on Earth and we will be acting as scientists, following the evolutionary trail. We will be looking at cells under a microscope and discovering the differences between animal and plant cells. This experiment shows how photosynthesis brought about the changes that made life as we know it possible. We will then investigate fossils that show the evolution of different species in the animal kingdom and see how volcanoes have influenced numerous extinctions. We will finally be extracting our own DNA, the key to evolution itself!
Pigments of nature
What colors do we find in nature? We observe our environment to discover them, reveal how natural pigments were extracted in the past and we will experiment to extract our pigments from fruits and vegetables. Then, we will see paintings of volcanic landscapes made by renowned artists from La Garrotxa and we will become artists to make a work of art with our natural paints. An activity where science and art go hand in hand.
